Charles Tichon (1865-1924) - Le Petit Provençal publishes, Les mystères de New York, by Pierre Decourcelle 1916. Printed by Le Petit Provençal. 140.5x100cm. Original poster, lithograph, canvas-backed. Condition B+, minor damage mainly to fold marks, some restored. This poster testifies to a shift in the world of both the press and the cinema, with the arrival of the first ciné-roman. Serialized films were already very popular in America. Taking advantage of the cessation of French film production due to the First World War, the Pathé studios imported American cinema, for which the public was in great demand, fed up with the honeyed, patriotic productions that made up almost all national cinema at the time. However, French audiences were not yet ready for these serials. So Pathé came up with the idea of teaming up with the newspaper Le Matin, to create a hybrid between press and cinema. Decourcelle, whose success had already been proven, was called in. For the first time, an author wrote a serial based on a film, rather than the other way around. The author immediately understood the need to "francize" the project by serializing the story to make it more linear. His text then took the form of a daily serial novel, and the modernity came from the projection of the episodes recounted on a weekly basis. He followed in the footsteps of Eugène Sue's "Mystères de Paris", an immeasurable success almost 70 years earlier. When Uncle Sam meets Uncle Sue... Following this idea, the American title was also changed to "The Mysteries of New York", and the story contextualized to European issues. The immense success of the project led to the launch of the ciné-roman in France, followed much later by television series. Is it any coincidence, then, that the poster for Le Matin was found in Chandler's apartment, followed by Monica's in the Friends series? Our copy testifies to the fact that provincial newspapers picked it up a year later. The visual shows "The Man with the Red Handkerchief", a key character in Episode 13.
